Ryan

As many of you know, Ryan left for Basic on the 10th. Christmas without him was hard. I have a few photos from his last visit here to show you.

The Holidays

Well, we went home for the Holidays. It was nice to see the family. Our visit was cut short and I won't go into why, because it's not important. Sorry we didn't get to visit with everyone that we planned on seeing. Chris and I have no plans to return to Monroe anytime soon, so anyone that want's to visit us here, you are more than welcome.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Please have a safe and Happy New Year!

Long time no see!!

Well, I finally got in front of the camera! Can you believe it??? What I wanted for Christmas was family pictures with my kids. Ryan is leaving for the Navy on the 10th of December so we had to get this done during the Thanksgiving holiday. I'll post some more later, but this was my favorite one. I have to hurry up and finish doing the Christmas cards for Chris' aunt and uncle so I can't play with my pictures just yet. Later!!!

Graham's visit!

Oh yeah and Mike and Meredith too! lol Had a great visit with these three this weekend! I know it's a long drive, especially with 1 year old in the backseat, but we are really glad that they got to come down for a visit!!

We had a great time with them! We went to a Mexican place for dinner after they got here, then on Saturday we took them to the Round Rock outlet mall. Saturday evening, we decided to grill steaks and we took some Christmas pictures of Graham until he had had just about enough of all of us!!

Sunday morning we fixed a big breakfast and Graham showed that he loved his Aunt Angi's scrambled eggs!! I think he at all that his momma had on her plate!!

Mike, Meredith & Graham....Thank you for coming to see us!! We love you and had sooo much fun! We will see ya'll at Thanksgiving!!! I'll have your gallery up in a couple of days!

Santa is at Aunt Angi's house!!!!!

Graham came to visit his Aunt Angi and Uncle Chris and got a suprise visit from SANTA!!!!! It's not Christmas yet, but I guess he's not too young to learn that Aunt Angi never follow the rules so you never know what you'll get!!!

Poor Graham! Why is he so sad???? Santa's giving him a cookie.....what happened????

AH HA!! This is why!!! Mean old Santa!!!!!! Santa stole Graham's cookie!!!!

Brianna's Photos

Brianna has been here for the past few weeks and boy has it been a visit!! lol I have some photos of some places that we went to, but I'll post them tomorrow...I'm getting tired...it's late and we drove to Tyler to meet Mom and Glen so they could take Bri back to West Monroe.

Brianna and I did get to take some photos of her for her Senior Pictures.

My little hole in the Wall!

I've been in this office for a year now and I am out of room!!! haha Hopefully our office will be able to move to a bigger office soon. If any more paper gets in my area, I'm afraid I'll suffocate!
Haha...and ya'll wonder why I'm in such a bad mood during the day???

Labor Day Weekend

Ok folks! We will be coming home for a long weekend at Labor Day. I'm giving everyone a heads up now because I've already got a couple of sessions lined up. If you want to do a session while I'm in town, you need to email me asap!! I'll be in Monroe as well as Homer if anyone wants to schedule one!

Seaworld

Here are some photos from when Chris's family came down and we went to Seaworld. Yes, I'm FINALLY getting them posted!!!
We got to see Shamu, ride some rides, get soaked in the rain and just have a great time! Had the lazy people in the house gotten the tails up so we could leave at 8 like we planned, we would have had more time to see the rest of the park. As always with this family.....nothing goes as planned!! haha

After the downpour of rain, I saw this beautiful rainbow!

Kailey trying to touch the dolphins. I was so scared that she was going to fall in. Chris was more worried about my camera falling in......Men!


This fish tank was really nice!!

Loved this fish!! Gorgeous!

This is the Atlantis ride that Janice, Heath, Kailey and Kendra went on

Here's Janice, Heath, Kailey and Kendra after their soaking!!

And the much talked about, highly anticipated, never live down till the day I die photo.......

And just in case you couldn't get enough.......here's a close up!

Go ahead. Laugh. The only thing that would have made it funnier would be if I had swallowed a bug! Of course miss 5 yr old Kailey saying "Aunt Angi's a scardey cat" didn't help my dignity! So I'm afraid of heights! Sue me!!!

Update

I talked to Glen tonight. He sounds really good. Said that he was feeling so much better. He's moving around really well. Very glad to be home!!! He told me that he was going to do everything that the doctors told him to do because he sure didn't want to take any chances that something else would happen! I can't say that I blame him!

Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers during this time!

A funny

I came across this photo when I was loading some files. Thought that I'd torture Ryan a little today!!

Catching up

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while so I need to catch up!!

Well alot has happened in the past few months, especially for my Mom and Glen! Glen had to have hip replacement surgery and that went ok. About a week after he got home, he sat down in a chair and popped it out and had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. That got taken care of, then Mom told me that he passed out in the kitchen one evening. Thankfully Ryan has been there with Momma to help out.

Then Glen started bleeding from his incision and went back to the hospital. Turns out he had contracted a staff infection that was pretty bad. Bad enough that he was going to have to stay in the hospital for about 6 weeks to take some really strong antibiotics. He was due to get out on July 4th, but that's not going to happen now.

A couple of weeks ago, he ended up with pnuemonia. He had gotten over that and seemed to be doing fine when last Monday morning (6/25/07)Mom gets a call from the hospital and Glen was put in CCU on a ventilator and was kept sedated. On Tuesday, he was in critical condition and my aunt Venita told me that it was really serious and that I should come so that I could at least get to say goodbye to him. So I made plans to come and left word with everyone at work that I woud probably not be back that week.

I called Mom that evening and she told me not to come because he was starting to do better and since the weather was so bad, she would worry more about me being on the road by myself. We agreed that I would wait until the morning and see how he did during the night and if there were any changes she would call me immediately. I waited at home until I talked to her, and Glen had actually improved some during the night. He was able to nod his head and understand what she was saying to him.

Momma still didn't want me driving up there so I agreed not to. I wanted to be there with her if nothing else but to put my arm around her and to see Glen and let him know that I loved him. But the last thing I wanted was to give Momma something else to worry about. I'm not the best driver in the world and Momma and Glen both know that! lol Glen especially, as he's had to pull me out of a ditch in the pouring rain in the middle of the night!

So as of Saturday, Glen is still improving! They have lowered the breaths of the ventilator to 8 and he's doing about 10 on his own. Hopefully they will remove it soon! We may try and go home next weekend to see him. Chris' family had already planned to come down here for vacation so we stayed here this weekend since Glen was doing so much better.

Thank all of you for your prayers and support!

I'll keep everyone posted!

New Camera

We went and got a new camera yesterday. It was time to upgrade. Also got a new lens. Here are some pics I took around the house trying to break it in.

Long awaited photos!

Ok folks.....they're here! I've finally posted the pictures of our house. I know, it's about time. Here are the ones that I'd taken earlier.

Photos of Ryan

Well for those of you that don't already know it, Ryan is here with us for a while. A short while!

Of course anyone that know's him, knows how he attracts people, so it's no wonder he found a girl. While taking his GED of all things.

She came to our house this past Saturday and ate steaks with us. She's really sweet. She brought me pink roses as a thank you! I took some pictures of them so they could put them on their myspace account.

Then I took some today of just Ryan. He thinks he's such a stud.

Keep Austin Weird!

A phone call from Ellen.
